Paragraphs and lines

A paragraph is a line with no breaks. It can be long, but must not have a CR in it.
No empty line will produce a <br> effect.

An empty line will produce a <p> effect.

Lines can be indented with spaces at the beginning.

Increasing spaces from the previous will increase the indentation.

Going back to the same level will reset the indentation and add an increased vertical space above.

The number of spaces do not matter, only the relative increase or decrease.
